>>740096981This cable management makes me sick.
>>740096981The 1st game I played on my new rig last year was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Fun adventure game that will showcase your hardware' capabilities

>>740097542>overkill processorI agree, but it was on sale at Newegg for 20% off, saving $100.

>>740097461Not him but what are some tips for cable management. My AIO fan header cables look ugly, and the back PSU cables aren't too bad but could be better
>>740098506it's extra annoying if it croaksquick and easy backupstaking load of your os driveit's just a convenience thing mainly
>>740098818Cause he fucking lying, that was last year price, that a $4k-$5k rig now.

>>740098873>tips for cable managementBe OCD.But really just route anything that can go behind the motherboard actually behind the motherboard. Visible lose cables just look bad.If you're REALLY autistic get cable extenders and the extra slack lets you manage them much easier.
>>740099067Cherry picking shit doesn’t help your argument.
>>740098873Genuinely just dont get a gay ass window case and just let things run where they fit without fucking with air flow

>>740097461>>740098873>>740099260Cable management tip: get a plain case without a goddamn transparent side, so the rats nest inside it will be irrelevant.
>>740096981Your AIO is backwards.

>>740096981Visual novels
>>740099294>>740100268But all the cases that have good airflow have glass side panels
>>740101502Actually, OP is using one of the best air flow cases that doesn't have any glass on it.The Fractal Meshify 3 has cooling on par with cases double its price.
>>740100804Can't be bothered. It still works.In fact, I think the cable not being right in front of the fans is better for airflow.

It has potato graphics and yet it's nicer to look at than all these games.
>>740096981>>740097038Modern gaming is dead, and there are no games where these specs are needed. All new games are 99% woke slop with political agendas.
>>740096981>>740097038good price for the specs for me its around 400$ more that i can find in the EU
>>740115068>around 400$ moreYou are getting a pretty good deal then. Because the GPU alone is $300 USD more now than what it was.

>>7401066039950x3d alone costed me like 800 plus tip a few months back
>>740118041If you're talking about OP's build, they have a 9850X3D, not a 9950X3D. It's literally half the price.
>>740118041>costed
>>740118041>9950x3dSeems like a waste if you're just gaming. The 9850X3D is literally just as good as the 9950X3D for games.If you do professional stuff that's different.
>>740096981>>740097038Decent build but the CPU is little bit overkill and you should add more ram to 64gb to handle everything especially Video AIslop

My mom wants to buy a pre built from Costco since she doesn't want to deal with building one and I'm too far away to help. How bad of an idea is this?
>>740097038kekaroomaybe you can run terraria on low settings or something
>>740126758What does your mom need a PC? I highly doubt it's gaming.Get an old refurbished business class Lenovo Thinkpad for like $150. It will last for you 10 years.Prebuilt PCs are ALWAYS bad. They always cheap out on one part or another and will cause problems down the line.

>>740126905She plays tons of random Sims clones on Steam, Diablo 2, and city building games so it actually is for vidya.
>>740126913I don't know. I tried the Noctua NH-D15 G2 and the be quiet! Pure Loop 3 AIO. And the AIO kept the 9850X3D at least 15C cooler than the fan. And it was cheaper than the fan. Yes, I know Noctua is over priced.
>>740127041your mom is cool
minecraft, project zomboid, kenshi, and rimworld. satisfactory and space engineers sometimes.mostly just gen loli hentai tho.
>>740127041Cool mom.Why not just build her a PC yourself, take out the GPU mail it separately, also add one of these expandable packing foam kits to the case so nothing shakes.

>>740127108>>740127241>>740127515Thanks. It's Asian stubbornness which is the problem. The entire timeline is my parents wanting to build a PC for my Mom, them getting extremely confused, and then settling for Costco because of the return policy or something. They don't want me to spend my money or even pay the cost for it because it wouldn't be them getting the computer themselves and it's driving me up the fucking wall
>>740096981>>740097038I don't believe it's yours. Put a jar of mayo inside and take another picture.
>>740127619>Asian oh, now it all makes sense
I need a new PSU. My PC keeps randomly restarting. Tracked it down to being related to fluctuating voltages on my PSU. Already tried BIOS and OS settings and reinstalls. Looks like a PSU thing.The issue is that i'm too lazy to buy and install a new one for a minor inconvenience(It doesn't reset under high load, just low load like idling at desktop or watching YT videos.)

It's enough.When I can find a really good deal for a 64GB kit of ram I'll get it.I did get two 32GB kits from a sale at walmart, but then I learned that 4 channel DDR5 gimps it by like 20%. So I just sold the second kit.
>>740120491These higher end GPUs are just too heavy for the current mobo meta to not sag. Having to completely alter the mobo meta for an extremely small percentage of current GPUs instead of just giving people a little doohickey to prop it up is retarded.

>>740097038There's nothing worth playing that's been made in the last year. I have a similar setup (9800x3d and 7900XTX, 64GB RAM) that I built last year and I've got nothing to play because there's just nothing worth playing anymore. I fell off RE9 halfway through, found Pragmata to be a snoozefest, and thought Silent Hill F sucked.

I had Silent Loop 3 and it was silent, but no matter what there was a silent hum of the pump itself (even at 30%) which I couldnt stand. Had to switch to fans.Case - Fractal Design Meshify 3 Black Solid ($120)Cool.
>>740127939What on earth are anons using 64gb of RAM for? gamedev?
>>740128354>got a 9800X3Dm which is the same in games, but runs much cooler.Like 5C cooler. But I got beefy fans for the AIO so it's still only like 65C under 100% load.
Fuck it, might as well ask here. I got a second fan for the front of my case but I guess it was a reverse(?) one or something, as when I went to install it I realized it'd basically look like pic related.I am, assuming, that it will naturally spin in the opposite direction which would offset the first fan, but can I just put it in backwards and be fine? I can't find an answer to this question oddly enough.
>>740118986Did it in 30 minutes, fellas. Now I'm high lol
>>740128527Making AI slop of their high school crush run on a local model.
>>740128552Doesn't it have the arrows on the borders that indicate the airflow? One arrow indicates the direction the blades will spin and the other indicates the direction of the airflow.
>>740128552>can I just put it in backwards and be fine?Yes, you'll be fine. It's the same amount of CFM no matter which way the fan is facing.So long as you're not OCD and don't mind the sticker on the back of the fan showing.
>>740097038First time I've ever seen /v/ actually praise someone's PC specs. I'm impressed, OP, well done.
>>740128287Wuchang is worth playing (though with Lossless Scaling and hours of optimization I managed to get it running on my 10 year old shitbox).
>>740128552its fucking over man just send me the pc thanks
>>740128692It doesn't but it's also some cheap $10 shit so oh well.
>>740128731The only wholesome thread on /v/.
>>740097038WHERE CAN I GET A 5070TI FOR UNDER 1000 BUCKSALREADY HAVE A MOBO, CPU, AND RAM. WISH I JUST BOUGHT A FUCKING PREBUILT FROM MICROCENTER SO I WONT GET GOUGED ON GPU AND SSD PRICES
>>740128942Bro, what the hell?Get Noctua NF-A14x25 G2s instead.And make sure to get sets with slightly different max speeds and mount them correctly to avoid harmonic resonance or whatever you call it.They work great for me, btw.Though I still got ANC headphones on top.
>>740128880kek>>740128942damn, that'd honestly drive me nuts. if your shit doesn't get too hot then i wouldn't worry about it. but if it needs the better ventilation, then i'd just deal with the pain of trying to verify it yourself (as in boot up your PC with the fans plugged in but not fastened in place and see if you can determine which way the air is blowing).
>>740129072Dunno, get a 9070XT if you're poor. Lol.
>>740129072>WHERE CAN I GET A 5070TI FOR UNDER 1000 BUCKSHere are you options.1. Go back in time to December of last year.2. Become black and steal one from your local bestbuy.3. Get a 500$ 9070XT from Aliexpress.
>>740129072Are they really over $1k now? Man. I got a 4070TiSUPER back in, like, October and even *that* was hard to get for ~$700.
>>740129103Also memes aside, ANC is some black magic.I got Bose QC Ultra Headphones Gen 2 and they're magical. Sometimes I got a loud air conditioner running next to me an it really does quite it like 95%. And with game sound, it's 100%.
>>740097038Pretty nice specs desu and at good prices given you bought stuff pre-AI shitfest.My only concern is you don't have a GPU sag bracket, buy one.
>>740129072>UNDER 1000 BUCKSI got you.
>>740129380I actually did get one of those little stick thingys to hold up the GPU. You can see it in the OP pick.
>>740129459kek
I only have a steam deckShould I get a real computerI really want one but it's too expensive and hard to decide on anything...
>>740096981
>>740129558>it's too expensiveBrother, just play on your fuckin Steam weenie.
>>740129558You can make a DDR4 build for like 600$.500$ if you're willing to live with a 1080Ti, which is the same as a RTX 5050.
>>740129568On a more serious note, Crimson Desert and Cyberpunk.
>>740129708>Crimson DesertI did get a free copy of Crimson Desert when I bought my 9850X3D. I really should install it.
>>740129667If you build a new PC in 2026 and don't get anything besides an R7 7800X3D and a GPU with at least 16GB VRAM, then you will be sorely disappointed with the results. Don't even fucking bother if you can't make a rig that meets those bottom-line criteria.
>>740097038Very similar build to mine except for the mobo+cpu (and brands)Ive yet to have any issues running anythingI went a little crazy on the mobo and cpu for future proofing and glad I did my build before everything got crazy.Also got my 5070Ti for $750 (tax included) because of Walmart sale for $699
>>740129795Nvidia was on crack when they made the 1080TiIt can play all modern games in 1080p with no issue. Sure, it's 11GB of VRAM, but it's enough for 1080p.
>>740129830What CPU did you get? Ryzen 9?
>>740096981>>740097038my build is similar but i cheaped out on cooling. really wish i didn't because i've turned off CPU boosting almost entirely from how much the jet engine bothers me.
>>740096981>Finished building my $2,200 gaming box.You mean the shop you paid to assemble it finished the box.
>>740096981>RAM - Kingston FURY Beast 32GB DDR5 CL36 ($100)Very poorly thought out bait
>>740130080No, I actually built it myself. First time.And it's caused a bit of a problem. Because I really had fun doing it. And I want to build more PCs. But it's impossible to make a profit flipping PCs right now, so the hobby is dead.
>>740098873Run them BEHIND the mobo/back panel like THEY ARE INTENDED.
>>740129708>>740129791Wait till August for DLSS RR 4.5, unless you really need to play those games now.
>>740130136That was a normal price for 32GB back in 2025.
>>740130219Did Crimson Desert shit the bed with optimization? Does it need a lot of hand holding from AI upscaling?
>>740129791Do it! It's probably the best open world fantasy game ever made, and if you hate it, then you are subhuman goycattle or worse yet, a journo.
>>740130224He means the CL36.
>>740097038Why a 5070ti and not any AMD GPU? Are you running local models?
>>740130264No. I can play it 1080p low with cinematic textures just fine, so I don't know why he would have any problems.
>>740130264>Did Crimson Desert shit the bed with optimization? No.>Does it need a lot of hand holding from AI upscaling?Obviously yes.RR (ray reconstruction) is the most important setting, so you might as well wait for an improved model.
>>740130306The difference between CL36 and CL30 on DDR5 with a 9850X3D is less than 1%. The X3D cache is black magic.
>>740130368>On a 6600 XT.
>>740130406But what about the warm feeling of having CL30?
>>740097038>>740096981Not bad. Congrats>What should I play?Play those games that you like but you never managed to max out it's graphics.
>>740130449I'd rather have the warm feeling of $500 more in my pocket.
>>740130530I guess it makes sense in America where you gave no social safety nets and one small injury or an unfortunate meeting with a crazy hobo or a black etc. can financially ruin you.
>>740130618Let me guess, you live in Canada.
>>740130668Japan. :)
>>740130758Isn't your government importing millions of browns right now? To take over the labor force because none of you are having any kids.
>>740130758Don't you have to wait a full year to see a doctor in Japan?
>>740096981What controller is that? I can see it's razer, but which one?
>>740096981Now you can post on 4chan and tendies will say you are poor with their $400 tablet.
>>740130857Sorry, had a small work talk (working from home). Not that many, but you can see Indians etc. in konbinis. >>740130928No? I live in a center of a big city and always found everything instantly. Especially dentists are at every corner.
>>740131729>Not that manyUh-huh, sure.
>>740128116It has nothing to do with any "mobo meta", whatever that is. GPU sag is manufacturing oversight. FE GPUs don't sag despite being the heaviest. Why? Because the full metal enclosure means the weight of the oversized heatsink isn't entirely placed on the PCB. Aftermarket GPUs don't really give a shit and just glue the brick onto the PCB, cover it in some shitty plastic and hope for the best.
>>740131646Jokes on them, because I own a switch 2 as well. Even if it's kind of dusty.>>740131485Wolverine v3 pro 8k
>>740131945>kind of dustydo you store it inside your vacuum cleaner?
>>740132087Yes.
>>740131842Btw quite obviously I'm a white European myself.I still consider Japan the best bet for the future.
PC Gaymers.What games do you play with a controller, and which do you play with mouse + keyboard? FPS games seems much better with a mouse.But hack and slash games feel better with a controler.
>>740132192>I still consider Japan the best bet for the future.It probably is. But pretending there aren't good places in America still is really silly.
>>740096981>no RBGay shit and flashy nonsenseNice. I will never understand why autistic flashing colorful lights is the "gamer" marketing strategy. Not to mention how you always have to pay a lot more for it.
nothing. congrats on your $2200USD 4chan machine
>>740132224I always found this kind of a silly question because there are genres that feel more natural a certain way. Action/adventure, sandbox, platformers and racing games you play on a controller. Everything else, specially FPS, strategy and base building games you play on KB/M. There's always exceptions, but they are rare.
Goys, how hyped are you for Steam Machine?It was always gonna be an overpriced luxury item where much of the price would come from the small form factor, sleek look and loving Gebbie. But I was imagining it was gonna be maybe 1.5x what I would consider appropriate.Right now I think it's gonna be like 2x-2.5x.
>>740132903I was never going to buy it in the first place.Literally what's the point? You can always get a PC for cheaper if you build it yourself.
>>740096981Minesweeper of course

>>740097038You must have been deal shopping for a while to get these prices.
>>740130053>really wish i didn't because i've turned off CPU boosting almost entirely from how much the jet engine bothers me.Isn't it rather easy and cheap to upgrade your cooling?This $30 CPU fan is really, really good for its price point.
Are AMD GPUs really that bad?
>>740136605You will always be dealing with SOME sort of esoteric driver/software related bullshit that Nvidia users never have to (but they have to deal with issues caused by curry-stinking vibe coding)
>>740131937naruhodoIn that case, I admit I am a retard who knows nothing, and I hope you can forgive me for pretending like I have any idea how these things work. Sincerely.
>>740136605Unfortunately yes. I'm not a big fan of Nvidia's business practices but if you want less issues and significantly better upscaling you gotta buy Nvidia. It's embarrassing how dogshit FSR looks compared to DLSS. I try not to use it much but for some games i have to because I'm a laptop gamer and some new titles i can't run 60 FPS native. Wherever possible i still prefer native with DLAA but DLSS is still so convenient to have as a fallback option
